Idle Mind or Creative Mind?

Whenever my mind idles, I will think of crazy idea to 'beautify' my stuff or DIY. One of the things that I used to do was using using old jeans to make file covers or a top. I didnt use a single stitch to sew my denim cover and simply use super glue instead. As for the top, it is too short in front and couldnt wear it out.

Recently, there was a fad of black elastic bands with nice buckles. I've seen it in flea markets and these are ridiculously charged. However, I managed to find it in some retail stores at 1/2 the price. Soon, I decided to save a bit of money to find the necessary materials to make my own belt. In fact, the actual cost of the material is relatively low and you could DIY easily.
Here is a picture of my belt and I've made a couple of similar belts but different designs for my cousins.

Currently, I dun have the mood to DIY and the next accessory that I'm planning to make is hair accessories. However, there are no inspirations yet. I did tried to make other accessories such as earrings, bracelets, etc. The costs of the materials are relatively expensive. I'm still searching for my inspiration.
